Why do you have a dance/pop album in your hip-hop list?

Ugh. Hate when people say that about M.I.A.
K, yes, she has electronic drums, world-music influence and a dance-y feel, but she IS a hip-hop artist. Same goes for my note about Lauryn Hill.
Kala is almost entirely hip-hop. It might not be the 'Gangsta rap' of Biggie or GZA, but that doesn't make it not a hip-hop album.
"The alternative hip hop movement is not limited only to the United States, as rappers such as Somali-Canadian poet K'naan, Japanese rapper Shing02, and Sri Lankan British artist M.I.A. have achieved considerable worldwide recognition" - Wikipedia's Hip-Hop definition.
